==Dear Mr. Turberville:== | |||
*********************** | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) uses the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) for the evaluation of Agreement State programs. Per our previous discussion, I will be the team leader for the IMPEP review of the Alabama Agreement State Program scheduled for May 20-24, 2019. The review team will include Monica Ford, NRC Region I, Geoffrey Warren, NRC Region III, Shawn Seeley, NRC Region I, and Jack Tway, State of New Jersey. | ||
*}} | Enclosed is the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program Questionnaire. The questionnaire was previously provided to you electronically on, January 9, 2019, I ask that you send your responses via e-mail to lance.rakovan@nrc.gov by May 3, 2019. I previously sent the questionnaire in advance of this IMPEP review scheduling letter in order to provide time for you to allocate the staff resources necessary to complete the document by the requested date. | ||
I encourage you to use electronic documents and provide them in advance of the review to the extent possible, to allow team members to better prepare for the onsite review. | |||
Also included with the questionnaire is the document, Materials Requested to Be Available for the On-Site Portion of an IMPEP Review. We encourage States to have the items listed prepared prior to the IMPEP teams arrival. | |||
I request that you set up an appointment with the appropriate State Senior Managers to discuss the results of the IMPEP review of the Alabama Agreement State Program on May 24, 2019. | |||
If you have any questions, please call me at 301-525-7280. | |||
Sincerely, | |||
/RA/ | |||

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 30, 2019 David A. Turberville, Director Office of Radiation Control The RSA Tower P.O. Box 303017 Montgomery, AL 36130-3017
Dear Mr. Turberville:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) uses the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) for the evaluation of Agreement State programs. Per our previous discussion, I will be the team leader for the IMPEP review of the Alabama Agreement State Program scheduled for May 20-24, 2019. The review team will include Monica Ford, NRC Region I, Geoffrey Warren, NRC Region III, Shawn Seeley, NRC Region I, and Jack Tway, State of New Jersey.
Enclosed is the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program Questionnaire. The questionnaire was previously provided to you electronically on, January 9, 2019, I ask that you send your responses via e-mail to lance.rakovan@nrc.gov by May 3, 2019. I previously sent the questionnaire in advance of this IMPEP review scheduling letter in order to provide time for you to allocate the staff resources necessary to complete the document by the requested date.
I encourage you to use electronic documents and provide them in advance of the review to the extent possible, to allow team members to better prepare for the onsite review.
Also included with the questionnaire is the document, Materials Requested to Be Available for the On-Site Portion of an IMPEP Review. We encourage States to have the items listed prepared prior to the IMPEP teams arrival.
I request that you set up an appointment with the appropriate State Senior Managers to discuss the results of the IMPEP review of the Alabama Agreement State Program on May 24, 2019.
If you have any questions, please call me at 301-525-7280.
Sincerely,
/RA/
